XXX Apparently Turbonegro’s ninth studio album, “Rock ‘n Roll Machine”, will be released on February 2nd, seems that’s twenty years to the day since the band began that “Apocalypse Trilogy” thing with 1998’s “Apocalypse Dudes”. They’ve shared a couple of tracks on social media and such, both of them are on this page somewhere, it…
Five more art things, five art events that have been brought to our attention, five more that we rather think are worth sharing with you, five events, London things, for that is where we’re based right now….. Here come the latest five…. 1: Sophie Jung ‘Come Fresh Hell or Fresh High Water’ – For the…
Open days at artist’s studios are almost always worth exploring.

The doors were thrown open and the chance to once again explore the floors of studios that on most days you really wouldn’t know were there hiding behind the front building that is main street gallery…
Mare street? There’s a giant banner on Mare Street right now. Is it a banner? A giant banner thing covering the entire facade of Space Studios on Mare Street (Hackney, London E8) was unfurled back in January. We’re in mid March now, the banner is there for a few more days (until the 19th), the…
